Tired of being kicked by a mule, State Sen. Chris West has some proposals on the future of the Republican Party in Maryland

As we begin the new year, I want to reflect on the future of the Maryland Republican Party. My friends who are either Republicans or who think it in the best interest of Maryland to have a viable two-party system will want to read on. My friends from the other side of the aisle who feel it would be best for Maryland to be a one-party state should probably just delete this message. I feel qualified to offer advice about the future of the Maryland Republican Party as I have been working for or with the Party since 1968, when I was just 18 years old.
